Thanks :) And I presume if I want to allow other users to access that mount I just add them to the group I specified in gid?

Use the options umask= and gid= when mounting the filesystem. Ex. fstab entry: /dev/hdd1 /mnt/filestore vfat auto,umask=007,gid=100 /Johan Andersson Kelerion wrote: Hey all.. just a quick question.. I've mounted a partition (ide4) to /mnt/filestore successfully but I'm having a few problems.. I know I can't set permissions on fat32 partitions but it's the only format that I can think of that allows me to read and write to in both winxp and linux (apart from ntfs but writing under linux is dodgy) So.. I have fat32.. and (as root) everything works fine.. but as any other user I can't even read the mount.. let alone access any files.. I've tried a "chown craig /mnt/filestore" and even a "chmod 777 /mnt/filestore" but they come back with a permission denied (and I'm doing it as root).. so I'm presuming it's a fat32 issue.. How can I get around these limitation?
